    Shooting and eating squirrels

    SWMBO now likes squirrel meat more than rabbit meat, scoiattolo alfredo being high on her list. I like fox squirrels seared then simmered in a skillet, deep-fried, stewed, boiled, or baked. Rocky (the flying squirrel) Wings (forelegs) make a great alternative to chicken wings. I've enjoyed...

    Life in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s

    We salvaged one of these (Dewey Decimal card cabinet), and now it's in the basement, repurposed as a wine storage unit.

    Life in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s

    There's one of these still out in the shop. The grandkids could never figure out where the batteries went.

    Life in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s

    Klondike Derby, BSA Camp Miakonda, Toledo, '61 - '63, Troop 24. My brother and I won the "Start-A-Fire-Without-Matches-and-Bring-a-Coffee-Can-Half-Full-of-Soapy-Water-to-a-Boil-Until-The-Suds-Overflows" event. We did it faster than you could say the event's name out loud. Not really, but we...

    The old man

    It's been sixty years since my Dad passed. He and several others are still hanging over my shoulder. Life is for the living, so do right and live well. I recommend you drink the good stuff first because you just never know. And make good memories because it's all you take with you when you go.
